"Two-finger swipe between pages" gesture not working when host is a laptop and client is a desktop

Bug report

What you were trying to do (and why)

I was trying to use my Mojave MBA 2014's trackpad on my iMac running Ventura.

What happened (include any debug output)

Two-finger "Swipe between pages" does not work on any browser or app. (three finger does, curiously)

What you expected to happen

I expected to be able to use two-finger navigation in browsers.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

Try controlling a desktop computer via a laptop.

Environment information

Server (Mac with keyboard and pointing device)

• Device: MacBook Air 2014
• macOS version: 10.14.6 Mojave
• Teleport version: 1.3.5

Also tried it from another MacBook Pro running Monterrey , same effect.

Client (Mac being remotely controlled)

• Device: iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020
• macOS version: 13.4.6 Ventura
• Teleport version: 1.3.5

I also tried copying .plist files (bothe touchpad and bluetooth touchpad ) from a Sonoma laptop which supported receiving 2-finger gesture onto the troubling iMac. After copying the .plist files in ~/Library/Preferences I locked them to prevent modifications.

Still no luck...

solved by typing this into the terminal:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool true

Thanks for submitting this issue and solution, hopefully others will find it useful. If there's a way to fix this in the application, I'd happily merge a pull request with a fix.

It might be caused by Logi Options software by Logitech or it may be that apple disables navigation with scrolls by default on some machines/OS combinations.

I am not sure how I would integrate it but I guess the fix be to just execute the above command upon running the app
